Product information
Behold the remarkable RHS AGM Australian Tree Fern—an enchanting spectacle for the eyes! Delicate fronds, stretching up to 1.5m (5') in length, gracefully unfurl from the crown, creating a magical exhibition that brings a touch of drama to moist, shaded corners of the garden. Originating from Australia, the resilient Dicksonia antarctica can withstand temperatures as low as -5°C (23°F) and flourishes in the UK's relatively mild, damp climate. This slow-growing species adds a mere 3cm of trunk each year, patiently taking several years to achieve its majestic height of approximately 4m. An awe-inspiring addition to sheltered gardens, it serves as a perfect focal point for woodland areas and exotic borders. With a listed height and spread of 4m (13"), it's important to note that plant dimensions vary seasonally, making the provided images an indicative preview. Thus, we classify the plant based on pot size rather than a fixed size to accommodate these natural fluctuations.
Supplied as a 0.5ft Trunk - can reach up to 4m tall at maturity
